Vicente Rey: The Lighter Side

Yesterday I proceeded to gush over the Beaujolais-soaked dark heart of his “Sur Mesure” collection. Reminiscent of boudoir attire, they drip with delicate detail…but today is another day. In the light of morning everything is bathed in dreamy, sparkling sunshine.

In his “Mariee” collection he explores the angelic themes of a wedding couture. The lace in this instance feeling more innocent and gold/silver embellishment echoing bridal radiance.

Ankle skirting lace with that glowing bride thing going on.

I already own the shoes that I will probably (if I ever get my act together) walk down the aisle in….but I really, really have second thoughts when I look at these ethereal beauties.

Silk and Gold details look soft and feminine.

Seriously, Vinny…can I call you Vinny?..I do. I DO.

Imaging this silvery lace glinting in the matrimonial glow…I do.

Vicente Rey: Sultry.Delicate.Detail.

We’ve all seen Vicente Rey shoes on Pinterest… always looking impossibly delicate. Like a misplaced breathe would certainly strip the feathers or turn the lace to sparkly dust. Like a true couturier his works are only on display in Paris and Barcelona and his online presence is nearly null.

For this post, I thought I would highlight his drool worthy, red wine bodied, darker side.

A delicate feather tendril reaching up the ankle.

He is a master of feathered sculpting and a well balanced design.

Lace framing the foot artfully.

I can only think that to strut in one of his skinny-heeled marvels would be a risk that even the most street wary lady would happily welcome.
